Silver Heights Secondary School

Based in Raisethorpe and has an intake of 1035 learners from Grade 8 to 12. About 99% of the learners are from previously deprived communities from areas such as Pietermaritzburg, Imbali, Sobantu, Ixopo and Eastern Cape. Majority of the parents of these learners are unemployed and in 2014, R100,000.00 in fees was granted as a consession. Many children come from very poor communities, are orphaned, or catered for by grandparents and there are many child headed families. Despite socio-economic difficulties, learners and educators work together and for the past three to four years, they have had a 92% pass rate. The school is in desperate need to refurbish its library.
